Pastor, Rick Fry

Hello! My name is Rick Fry, and I’m the pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church. Previously, I was the pastor of two rural congregations in Wisconsin. ​I was born and raised in the heartland of Ohio. I grew up on a farm with a love for the outdoors and nature. My wife and I are the parents of two marvelous girls, Fiona and Adeleen. I enjoy writing. I wrote an unpublished novel a few years back. I also have a blog where I occasionally post sermons and devotions. You can find it atrickfry130.wordpress.com. I love travel and music. I like exploring new places, and I even hitchhiked across the country a few times. I once made a pilgrimage of sorts to a bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey called the Stone Pony, where a young Bruce Springsteen got his start.

​I’m passionate about telling others about God’s love, and learning about other people. So what are your hopes and dreams for the world? In what ways can Ascension better share God’s love in the community? Stop by my office, or send me anemail! I’d love to hear your story.
